Does the (US) Roadster have the "secret compartment" in the dash?

I need to know if the roadster has the storage compartment behind the dash trim above the glove box. Mine should be here soon and I wanted to get the right Proclip phone mounting clip ahead of time to be ready. They sell two versions, one for cars with the compartment and one for cars without. I couldn't find any mention of it on my spec sheet from the configurator.

Can anyone with a car let me know?

Double-confirmed. I was at a car show over the weekend and showed it to some kid who was testing out the passenger's seat.

I forgot to mention it...but yes, *very* funny, "you made my spoiler drop...prepare to die".

Probably watched that movie with my kiddos 50 times. Rodents of unusual size, Dread Pirate Roberts, only mostly dead, lotsa quotable stuff!

ProClip

I bought the ProClip for my iPhone/2012 roadster - good fit. I did buy an "extension" docking cable - the Mini cable for the iPhone didn't allow much slack. Here is the cable I purchased:
